Turkish Coffee Cup Sets

How to choose a Turkish coffee cup set

Size: how big is a Turkish coffee cup?

A traditional Turkish coffee cup holds about 90 ml (roughly 3 oz), enough for one serving with its foam. Most sets here are 90 ml. If you want something different, the ACAR Forever cups are 60 ml, the Kosova Dotted Black and Dotted Rainbow and the ACAR Florcita are 100 ml, and the ACAR Erika double cups hold 160 ml for a larger serving. The Paşabahçe Vela set is 195 cc.

How many pieces do you need?

• 6-person sets are the standard: six cups and six saucers, often listed as a 12-piece set.
• 2-person sets such as the ACAR Luno Duo and Petra suit couples, small kitchens or a first gift.
• 4-person: the ACAR Erika double cup set serves four.

Porcelain sets or sets with a tray

The ACAR and Kosova cup and saucer sets are porcelain. The ACAR Lale, Hürrem, Sultan, Acurlu, İnci, Ayyıldızlı and Semazen coffee sets come with a metal tray and are offered in silver tone, gold tone, tinned, antique copper and antique gold finishes. To complete that look with a matching sugar bowl or lokum dish, browse Ottoman-style serveware.

Pick a style

• White with gold: ACAR Allura and Hermia.
• Multicolour: ACAR Zaira, Kosova Eden, Rose and Connell, so each guest gets a different cup.
• Evil eye (nazar): Kosova Evil Eye cups and the ACAR Nazar set with tray.
• Black and white: ACAR Infinity, Kosova Cliff and Dotted Black.

Care tips

Cups with gold or silver decoration last longest when washed by hand with a soft sponge, since metallic details can wear over time. Care instructions vary by set, so check the product page before using a dishwasher.

Serving tradition

In Turkey, coffee arrives on a saucer with a small glass of water and often a piece of Turkish delight. A gold serving tray makes it easy to carry six cups at once. For more help, read our guide to choosing a Turkish coffee cup set.
